forget Q or Jay Rock. the lack of an Isaiah Rashad feature is just tragic.

edit: hmm, the features for These Walls are the same as the Colbert track.

Isaiah Rashad needs to sign to a new label and escape all the buffoonery.

Looking forward to those Kendrick + Thundercat collabes.

I wonder how feature credits are negotiated. Thundercat is on TBTB and i yet isn't credited. In fact I'd imagine he's on most of the album. So why get credited specifically for two tracks? Maybe he's singing on them or something I guess.

Probably. Vocal features in track titles. Producers only credited in well, the credits.

What I'm saying is if that tracklisting is to be believed he can ignore his entire label and not feature them, but everyone else on that label will have no choice in the matter.

I'm agreeing.

He owes Jay Rock at least, Money Trees is one of the better songs on GKMC. Q/Soul have had their heads up their asses as of late.

I'm only surprised that Jay Rock isn't on it. Kendrick isn't trying to get Ab Soul on there (thank God), Q and him are in completely different places artistically (we should have known that for a while), Rashad wasn't gonna be on it.. Not even sure I wanted a rashad/kendrick collab.

I like the TDE artists on their own, but to me there is no question that Black Hippy is and has been dead for the most part.

A-Trak got verified on Genius and posted on how Stronger came about:

I gave him that sample. I’m the culprit. And I didn’t want him to sample it, that’s what’s funny.

It sort of happened because Swizz Beats sampled “Technologic” for that Busta Rhymes record, “Touch It.” We were on tour in Europe in 2006, spending a lot of hours on the bus listening to the radio. Kanye heard “Touch It” and thought that beat was cool. I said, “He just swooped up Daft Punk.” And Ye said, “Who?” I just couldn’t believe that Kanye had never heard Daft Punk.

There’s an openness about Kanye. Early on, because he sampled the Doors for Jay-Z and things like that, people thought that he knew more about “white music” than most rap producers. But some of those things were accidents. He’s just good at spotting something good. His girlfriend at the time played him The Doors. Kanye didn’t grow up listening to classic rock, but when something falls in his lap, he knows if it’s dope, and knows when to make a beat out of it.

Around this time, he also did his blog, which I still think is one of the best things he ever did. He would learn about shit like architecture and post about it, and his fans would learn about it at the same time as him. He didn’t really know that stuff beforehand. What’s great about Kanye is that you get to witness him soaking up knowledge.
When we got to the hotel, I said, “Dude, sit down. I’m going to play you some great music.” And when I played him “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,” he was like, “That’s so dope, play it again! I’m going to sample that!” And I said, “No! Wait, what?” I guess I still had a nineties mentality in terms of sampling, where you’re supposed to find unknown records to use, the way that Q-Tip or The Beatnuts would dig up something that nobody knew before.

In hindsight, Kanye was right and I was wrong. By the 2000s, culture accelerated so much. You couldn’t think in terms of authorship. The whole concept of authorship doesn’t exist anymore. I think Kanye had a very current view, like, “If it’s dope, I’ll flip it, and put my stamp on it.”

Later on, we were planning a tour after that and we were pulling up samples and things to add over songs in the live performances. I pulled up the acapella for “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” and he just looked at me like “There’s an a-capella?” And said “Yeah, it’s on the 12-inch, everyone has it.” He said, “Do you know how much we struggled to mix that fucking beat because I sampled it with the drums in it from the breakdown? You mean to tell me that there was a fucking acapella?” In the Daft Punk original, there’s a breakdown with just the little compressed drums and the vocals. He sampled that and put his drums over it. The big challenge was how to work his drums around the drums in the sample. That was funny.
